External Technical Interpretation Inquiries
This is in reply to your letter of March 19, 1991 in which you questioned whether we would consider an exempt charitable organization situate in Israel to be “resident of a Contracting State” for purposes of Article IV of the Canada-Israel Income Tax Convention (the “Convention”).
This will confirm that for the purposes of the Convention and other income tax treaties comparable thereto we are of the opinion that an exempt organization that is created or organized in a Contracting State will generally be considered to be a “resident of” that State notwithstanding that it is granted exemption from tax in such State by the tax law thereof. Accordingly an exempt charitable organization that is resident in Israel will be entitled to the benefit of Article XXI of the Convention (ie. reduced withholding rate of 15%) on income arising in Canada from an estate or trust.
